Flash Freebie!! The Four Seasons: Vocabulary, Describing and Comparing/Contrasting Activity

With 2 weeks left of summer vacation, I am FINALLY getting organized to start the new school year.
I decided to start targeting more life skills in therapy this year by incorporating daily weather, seasons, days of the week and all that good stuff! 

Check out interactive, differentiated Four Seasons Activity HERE on Teachers Pay Teachers!

It includes headers of the Four seasons for bulletin boards or centers, vocabulary card sort for each season (with and without pictures) and describing sheets for each season. You can use the picture cards to compare/contrast seasons, expand expressive language, etc.
As a thank you for following me, and a back to school gift, I am offering it for FREE for 48 hours, until 8/26 at 10 am est!

Leveled Reading Intervention: Dolch Sight Word Interactive Activities

Let's get REAL about literacy.  I see WAY too many kiddos who cannot read.  And by that I don't mean 5 year olds.  I have SO MANY students in 3rd-5th grade who struggle with Fountas and Pinnell level D books.  This is a problem. 

I'm not labeled a "reading specialist" but as a SLP I know the underpinnings of language acquisition and reading skills.  I believe that between phonemic awareness skills, phonics work and sight word memorization, we can get our students to READ!

I've dabbled in sight word instruction in my speech room before.  But I wanted a leveled, measurable way to target sight words from beginning to end. With that comes my latest labor of love.  I'm ready to share it with you! Find it HERE on Teachers Pay Teachers.

Here is a bundle of 37 weeks of leveled sight word activities.  Each week targets 6 words through 4 interactive activities from Pre-Primer to Grade 3.  Each activity is designed to use multi-sensory techniques to get students to memorize sight words through repetition of tracing, writing, identifying, reading and sentence construction.  You can use this tool for ELA, classroom centers, Response to Intervention or Speech/Language therapy.




I have included Dolch sight word lists for each level, an anchor chart, evaluation forms for each student and binder spines.
For anyone who only needs 1 level, I have posted each separately on TpT. Click on the level you need below.
